Most people feel like Nirvana would not be nearly as acclaimed if it weren't for Kurt Cobain's death. I actually agree with this, however there is no denying Nirvana's influence and impact on the music industry at the time. MidnightCraze

Nirvana changed the music landscape of the 90's. When nevermind came out, it was like an atomic bomb went off. The only other music acts that had that effect were:

Elvis

The beatles.

There is no such thing as too much nirvana. I've listened to Nevermind, in utero and bleach like 600 times each both sides.

Because the books that they make you read are nearly 100% allegories about something different.

[QUOTE="famicommander"]Windows operating systems are, by and large, terrible and only useful for gaming. I used XP but I was never particularly enamored with it it. It was a giant step up from Windows ME, at least. You could say I was excited to be rid of the head aches that came along with having a Windows ME desktop AND an extremely unreliable DSL connection back in the day. I switched to cable internet and XP at the same time and it was certainly a relief. I get excited every time the newest edition of Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Linux Mint/Fedora/PC-BSD is released, though. I was particularly excited about Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, which was my first expedition into the world of UNIX-like systems (not counting OS X, which I was very familiar with due to school). I remember the reason for trying it being Microsoft refusing to let me activate my copy of Windows on my PC after replacing a dead motherboard. Their customer service just gave me the run around and I got frustrated and hung up. So I tried Linux and have used it as my main OS ever since, while Windows has been relegated to a gaming-only partition which I only use when I cannot get a game to work via WINE/DosBox/Playonlinux/etc.rhazzy

linux can do anything windows can do better, except games

Good on him.

The only time I ever use the command line nowadays is for making batch files. For that function, I find the Windows command line syntax much simpler to use although the command line in Linux is somewhat more flexible.

As for command line vs GUI..... the GUI is way better for navigating. Digging through scores of directories and subdirectories using the command line (for both Linux and Windows) can get old real fast especially when moving files around.

dhclient eth0

That won't work. I have my ethernet disabled in the BIOS since I'm not using it.

That was an example of a command that you don't need to navigate around to find some conf file to edit in vim.

TC, you must not pay your own bills or are a lifelong bachelor. Those descriptions of the ranges are laughable.

low budget for upgrades? 200-300 bucks

medium budget for upgrades? 300+-500 bucks

high budget for upgrades? 500+-700 bucks

insane budget for upgrades? 700+-900 bucks

If you are spending 1000 bucks or more for an UPGRADE and not even a new system, you did something wrong.

Right, everyone could come in here and post ridiculously low numbers.I'd love to see your shopping lists for 2-700 buck gaming PCs and what sort of FPS they could do in games like BF3!

Ya know, the funny thing is, get on a proper gaming enthusiast forum with mature people and the opinions will differ vastly from yours.

By the way, I support a family of 4 but I don't work at McD's or hand out newspapers for a living, so for me, $750 for a gaming rig is considered low budget.

But it's obvious that this forum is full of immature kids who only seem to earn pocket money and can't appreciate if someone's trying to help with a proper PC build and feel the need to troll, post over-used internet images, and ultimately try to pull every thread down to SW levels.

In the end, it's all about your priorities. And I don't care. What people decide to buy is up to them. The hardware I mentioned above is high quality, future proof and should last you for a couple of years.

If you decide to buy old(er) hardware for less, then you'll either miss out on new features, be upgrading again in 12 months or will play future games with less visual quality.

Indeed you did something wrong if you do that iv Gived my input about computer information in about how to assemble a Little over 200 Computer's upgrade on gamespot in 3 year and this guide is wrong if ur seeking a HD 1080P Gaming PC

SSD are not essential when ur going all the way to high res gaming but it sure the HDD Crisis make the PC Build A little Harder : SSD are thing you get After you got the Gaming hardware if you want super fast loading time : you pool most on the gpu : less on the cpu : not more then 8GB unless ur into multi-media

I could make a Guide but back to gaming :Pmarcthpro

That's the first semi-constructive post here.

I actually thought that people here are smart enough to know that they can always modify the shopping list and leave out things like an SSD or buy cheaper RAM. Heck, it's even in the descriptions. But Gamespot proved me wrong.

It is better to keep your mouth shut and to be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
